28 sport the barr is lowered Gulf Golf Guff by McBaffie Bit of a catchup week, this, and mainly stats. So many events, so few column inches (sigh). I’ll start, if but briefly, with the Strugglers Gully trip – a bit like the Hobbit, really, ‘There and Back Again’! The lads played Mangawhai, Omana and Warkworth, and on every day the eldest prevailed. Ashley Corlett, enjoying a handicap not incommensurate with his age, won the weekend. Rodney Pope on the other hand, lost 5 balls on the 2nd hole at Mangawhai (or was it 4, or maybe 6? One loses count). Everyone else was somewhere in between. Last Saturday we had Round 1 of the Match Play Champs, certainly the most nail-biting competition of the year. For example, Alton Shinnick went 3 up on Tom Hepburn in 4 holes, yet they had to go down the 19th before Alton played the hole slightly less badly than Thomas to win the match. Can you believe how bad? – both equal on drives down the 19th, both 2nd shots within a smidgen of the 135 marker. Tom hits his 3rd into the creek, says to Alton “hit the green and the game is yours “. So, young Alton screws his 3rd into same creek! But to his credit, he chips up to inside 2 feet for the win. In retrospect, thoroughly deserved. (There again, Tom came 2nd in Friday’s Twilight, no seppuku yet for him). Here’s how next Saturday’s semi finals will be played: Senior grade, Mike Karetai v Michael Hood; Mike Wheeler v Martin Riley. Intermediate grade: Wayne Clarke v Alton Shinnick; Guy Southwood v Aaron Smith. Junior grade: Gene Muggleston v Grant Lilly; Kevin Kite v Richard Standfield. And in C-grade: Jim Barr v John McIntyre; Paul Delautour v Roger Ramsell. In the day’s haggle, winners from the top down were: John McIntyre (+6) then counted back all on +4, Jim Barr, Martin Riley and Wayne Clarke. The only 2 of the day, and NTP, went to Mr Shinnick. Truisms of Sport 84c: Lagging a putt inside 3 feet means you’ve got the Yips. • Jane’s jottings From the ladies’ corner “Such is putting! Two percent technique, 98percent inspiration, confidence or touch. The only thing great putters have in common is touch and that is critical.” sport the barr is lowered Gulf Golf Guff by McBaffie sport the barr is lowered Gulf Golf Guff by McBaffie Bit of a catch- up week, this, and mainly stats.

Tuesday: play off Yellow Tees Friday: Play off White Tees So said Jack Nicklaus. And it was Agnes Tully who found the inspiration on Wednesday, winning our putting competition with 30 putts. Unfortunately some players did not heed Jack’s advice and our yellow elephant grew heavier and heavier as the money rolled in for 3 putts. There was almost a 3-way tie for near- est the pin but after careful measurement Helen Magee was deemed the closest, taking the honour from Agnes and Jane Parlane. Unfortunately the measuring saw a swap of similar putters between Helen and Jane – which led to some interesting putting for them when they played next at two Auckland clubs – and we won’t mention that Helen did not score a two!

Highest stableford point winner over all divisions will keep the booty! Congratulations to our Champion of Champions team – Rachel Salisbury, Helen Magee and Jane Parlane who played 36 holes at Remuera in this gross stableford and nett competition against all Auckland clubs. Many thanks to our caddies Jeannette Muggleston, Sandra Pope and Adair Dromgoole, who slogged it out in often showery weather. We didn’t win but looked the part in our new uniforms – honours went to Titirangi (Rose Bowl) and the Grange (Intermediate). •
